GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A.390 and RCW 35A.63.220 PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION TAKEN: None BACKGROUND: The City adopted the annual amendments to the Comprehensive Plan for 2009 on May 12, 2009 in Ordinance 09-008 and 09-009. The Comprehensive Plan amendment known as CPA-05-09 removed the Community Facilities comprehensive plan and zoning designation and added Parks/Open Space zone. Staff is updating the Spokane Valley Municipal Code to become consistent with the most recent zoning designation change. In addition, staff modified sections of the code for easier reference and clarification. ANALYSIS: Spokane Valley Municipal Code Section 17.80.150(6) provides approval criteria that amendments of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code must meet. Those criteria include: 1. The proposed amendment(s) are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed amendment(s) bear a substantial relation to the public health, safety, welfare and protection of the environment. Staff Comment: The removal of the community facilities zone allows for consistency with development standards and to address impacts of such use(s). The Parks/Opens Space zone designates the City's park land and preserves such areas. The schedule of permitted uses has been updated to reflect the removal of the Community Facilities zone and add Parks/Open Space zoning designation. Appropriate uses were denoted for the Parks/Open Space zone in the schedule of permitted uses. In addition, the community facilities definition was updated to correct inconsistencies and criteria was established to buffer residential uses. Lastly, the following amendments are being proposed strictly to correct errors or inconsistencies: 1. Removal of `mobile food vendors' special conditions/requirements in section 19.60.020 and 19.60.040 and put in general requirements 19.60.010(H) and added code section in schedule of permitted uses table (Appendix 19-A). 2. Remove column for "NAICS #" in Chapter 19.120. 3. Remove "s" in column for NAICS specific number in Chapter 19.120. 4. Spell out "Gross Leasable Floor Area" for clarification in Chapter 19.120. Conclusion: SVMC 17.80.150(F) states that the City may approve amendments to the UDC if it finds that: (1) The proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan; and a. EDG-7 works to maintain a regulatory environment that offers flexibility, consistency, predictability and clear direction. Corrections to the development standards will provide clear direction and consistency. b. Goal NG-2: Preserve and protect the character of Spokane Valley's residential neighborhoods. The addition of screening and landscape standards adjacent to residential uses and/or zones will provide a visual, sound and light barrier to protect and preserve residences adjacent to community facility uses. c. Goal PRG-5: Identify, evaluate, and preserve as open space selected undeveloped lands within Spokane Valley. The new zoning designation (Parks/Open Space) has identified areas to preserve. The development standards established are to preserve and protect the current and future uses to be consistent with the City's park and recreation goals and policies. (2) The proposed amendments bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment. The proposed amendments to the zone meet the above outlined goals, and are thus consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. OPTIONS: Review and recommend approval or non-approval as drafted or amended. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff's opinion is that the proposed amendments meets the above noted criteria and recommend that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation to amend the Municipal Code as stated above.

However, the definitions as they appear in the code clearly include this part of distribution system. We at Vera Water and Power strongly urge that the definition for Public Utility Distribution Facilities and Public Utility Transmission Facility either be rewritten to define the items of a public distribution system that does not require landscaping or rewrite the definition so that it clearly states what does require landscaping. We also would like to see the requirements written so that planning director has the latitude or flexibility to wave the requirements after reviewing utilities landscaping plans. Officers from the Spokane Valley Police Department have informed us one of the best ways for added security at our substations, wells and reservoirs are to NOT allow the vegetation to grow to the point of"hiding" the facilities. Safety and security for us is paramount. Regards, Vera Water & Power Mike DeVleming P.O. Box 630, Spokane Valley,WA 99037 Phone 509-924-3800 Fax 509-922-3929 www.verawaterandpower.com
